I'm interested, are the tea party candidates that got in the sane ones or the nuts ones?

Sane.  The ones consider nuts, are Odonnel and Angle who both lost .  Though I'd like to point out that the same kinds of attacks were made on those that won.

Rand Paul example was accused of being part of a secret society that thinks the bible is a hoak.  (Not wrong mind you... but a hoax.)

That he kidnapped a woman, forced her to smoke pot and than forced her to woship a "False Idol" called "Aqua Buddha".

A big reason he one was because in that race said "Ok, that's enough fucking dumb personal attacks." and the democrat plunged in the polls after the ads.

Honestly I'm beggining to think the whole thing with most of these candidates was just a political screw job and they were all sane.

Just like John McCain's "illegitamite black baby" (Aka his adopted son.)  and all the things people started believing about Hilary Clinton during her primary vs Obama.

Nah, I don't know about Angle but O'Donnel was sure as hell nuts. Not that its exclusive to the tea party - they just seem to have a higher than usual crazy ratio.

There was also that democrat who wanted to stimulate the economy by making action figures of himself.
